Q. The same force acting on a smaller area exerts a larger pressure, and a smaller pressure on a larger area.

Q. Smaller the area : larger the pressure : : larger the area :

Q. When two cylinder with different size like larger and smaller are kept together then though the pressure is same in both, still the force required is more for larger cylinder. Due to increase in which property?

Q. Assertion :Smaller drops of liquid resist deforming forces better than the larger drops. Reason: Excess pressure inside a drop is directly proportional to surface area.

Statement 1: For the same load/force acting on two different surfaces, more pressure is developed on the surface with a smaller area.
Statement 2: Pressure is inversely proportional to the area of contact.

Dear student Pressure=ForceAreaP=FAif we keep the force as constant and go on reducing the area than the pressure will go on increasing .The meaning of this line is we can apply a large pressure by a small force by applying this force oer a smaller area.Regards
